I am trying to get uploadify to work. When I try and upload something the browse functionality works fine but there is a breif pause and then I get either an "http error" or an "IO error".
The progress bar doesn't display, which made me think it might be a path issue, but the swf file is in the same location as the images / scripts which it appears to be finding OK.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Did you use a generic handler (.ashx) for receiving the file? Here is my code
Public Class Video_File_Upload
Implements System.Web.IHttpHandler
'Dim File_Path_Chapter_Video As String = "XXX/"
Dim Directory_Videos As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("Videos_Save")
Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"
context.Response.Expires = -1
Try
Dim postedFile As HttpPostedFile = context.Request.Files("Filedata")
Dim filename As String = postedFile.FileName
'string folderName = context.Request.QueryString["FolderName"];
Dim NOF As String
Dim CheckFilePath As String
Dim MapPath As String
NOF = Convert.ToString(context.Request("NOF"))
CheckFilePath = Directory_Videos & NOF
If Directory.Exists(CheckFilePath) = False Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(CheckFilePath)
End If
MapPath = Directory_Videos & NOF & "/" & filename
postedFile.SaveAs(MapPath)
Catch
End Try
End Sub
ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements IHttpHandler.IsReusable
Get
Return False
End Get
End Property
End Class
Then you have to put this line in the upload setting: "uploadScript:Video_File_Upload.ashx"

After I run the following code I can not delete the *.traineddata file in datapath folder, until I completely closes the program.
Shared Function GetOcrText(ByVal imagePath As String,
ByVal datapath As String,
ByVal languages As IEnumerable(Of String)) As String
Dim languagesStr = String.Join("+", languages)
Dim resultText As String = ""
Using engine = New TesseractEngine(datapath, languagesStr, EngineMode.Default)
Using img = Pix.LoadFromFile(imagePath)
Using page = engine.Process(img)
resultText = page.GetText()
End Using
End Using
End Using
Return resultText
End Function
Am I wrong about something?
What should I do to be able to delete the file?
Use 3.2.0-alpha4 version of .Net wrapper for tesseract-ocr.
I tried your code with this version and everything works fine.
I have recently started experimenting with SQL Server Compact and EF6. I am currently using the model first approach and generating my classes and tables from it. I am curious though, about one thing. How can I get my program to dynamically create the database. It exists on my machine as I created it with the SQL Server Compact/SQLite toolkit, but when the program is deployed to client computers, the database will need to be created.
I would want to prompt them on first run for a good location, then create the entire DB schema and just use that in the future. I looked into this guide but vs started complaining about it not working because I didn't use a code-first approach.
If you need more info let me know! Thanks.
I have a little app I'm working on using SQL CE and EF and I deploy the template database when the app is installed (clickonce). Then I use a spash screen on application start to either load a previously created database or let the user create a new one.
When they create a new db I simply prompt them for a location and copy the template database out to their desired location with their desired name. I've also set it up to use the deployed database without giving them the opportunity have multiple database files.
We are dealing with a few pieces here as follows:

My stock/template .sdf file sits in my project folder and is included in the project within Visual Studio (I'm using 2015). Rightclick on the file in the Solution Explorer and select properties you want to set the following:

Create global variable
Either use an existing module file or create a new one that looks like this:
Public Module Globals

Set global variable value
On the form of your main application (frmMain above) add the following to the constructor:
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
g_recipeData = New RecipeEntities
End Sub
If you perform the above action when you create the variable in the module file then the connection string for the entity is set and you can't change it. You must set the connection string in app.config (using the above code) first and then the entity will use desired connection string when instantiated.
I think that's the basics for now. I highly recommend you reading through it again now that I'm done. I made some corrections and even added a step for the lastpath setting. Just hit me up if something isn't working or is confusing and I'll do my best to help. Good luck!
I am creating a windows service to save current username and logon time in a CSV file. But when I install the service, the file is just created, not details are written to it, and that file is set to read-only mode. what is the problem in my code?

Imports System.Text
Imports System.DirectoryServices
Imports System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class LoginService1

Dim Logon_UserName = win.Name.Substring(win.Name.IndexOf("\") + 1)
Dim pc As New PrincipalContext(ContextType.Machine, My.Computer.Name)
Dim uc As UserPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(pc, Logon_UserName)
Dim str As String = ""
Try
Dim sr As New StreamReader("c:\logondetails.csv")
str = sr.ReadToEnd()
sr.Close()
sr.Dispose()
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
Try
Dim sw As New StreamWriter("c:\logondetails.csv")
Str += Logon_UserName & "," & uc.LastLogon.Value.ToString
sw.WriteLine(str)
sw.Close()
sw.Dispose()
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
' Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.'

There are many ways to fix what you are doing.
For 1, you dont need to read in the entire file to append to the end of it. For example
using(var stream = File.AppendText(fileName))
{
stream.Write(string);
stream.Close();
}
But you are going to have issues with concurrent access to the file. You'd be better off using a logging framework, such as log4net or microsoft logging block, and then just
Logger.Info(yourstring);
and be done with it. The framework will handle the file access issues.
I'm trying to find a way to get mail attachments (programaticaly) , and then open it... can someone tell me how to do this or point me to a right direction?
This is a VBA script (use in a Macro in Outlook) which will loop over all attachments in all selected items in the current folder and Save them to disk.
It should get you started and I don't think it would take much to add some kind of process launch rather than save logic to it.
Public Sub SaveAttachments()
'Note, this assumes you are in the a folder with e-mail messages when you run it.
'It does not have to be the inbox, simply any folder with e-mail messages
Dim Exp As Outlook.Explorer
Dim Sel As Outlook.Selection
Dim AttachmentCnt As Integer
Dim AttTotal As Integer
Dim MsgTotal As Integer
Dim outputDir As String
Dim outputFile As String
Dim fileExists As Boolean
Dim cnt As Integer
'Requires reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime (SCRRUN.DLL)
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Set Exp = Application.ActiveExplorer
Set Sel = Exp.Selection
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
outputDir = "C:\Path"
If outputDir = "" Then
MsgBox "You must pick an directory to save your files to. Exiting SaveAttachments.", vbCritical, "SaveAttachments"
Exit Sub
End If
Dim att As Attachment
'Loop thru each selected item in the inbox
For cnt = 1 To Sel.Count
'If the e-mail has attachments...
If Sel.Item(cnt).Attachments.Count > 0 Then
MsgTotal = MsgTotal + 1
'For each attachment on the message...
For AttachmentCnt = 1 To Sel.Item(cnt).Attachments.Count
'Get the attachment
Set att = Sel.Item(cnt).Attachments.Item(AttachmentCnt)
outputFile = att.FileName
outputFile = Format(Sel.Item(cnt).ReceivedTime, "yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmss - ") + outputFile
fileExists = fso.fileExists(outputDir + outputFile)
'Save it to disk if the file does not exist
If fileExists = False Then
att.SaveAsFile (outputDir + outputFile)
AttTotal = AttTotal + 1
End If
Set att = Nothing
Sel.Item(cnt).Close (Outlook.OlInspectorClose.olDiscard)
Next
End If
Next
'Clean up
Set Sel = Nothing
Set Exp = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing
'Let user know we are done
Dim doneMsg As String
doneMsg = "Completed saving " + Format$(AttTotal, "#,0") + " attachments in " + Format$(MsgTotal, "#,0") + " Messages."
MsgBox doneMsg, vbOKOnly, "Save Attachments"
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
Dim errMsg As String
errMsg = "An error has occurred. Error " + Err.Number + " " + Err.Description
Dim errResult As VbMsgBoxResult
errResult = MsgBox(errMsg, vbAbortRetryIgnore, "Error in Save Attachments")
Select Case errResult
Case vbAbort
Exit Sub
Case vbRetry
Resume
Case vbIgnore
Resume Next
End Select
End Sub
Look for the COM-reference of Outlook.
You can also use a macro written in vba to do this.
Is there any way to set a custom Icon of an Outlook folder or subfolder using Outlook object model?
As from Outlook 2010 you can use MAPIFolder.SetCUstomIcon as described above.
I have had the same challenge recently and found a nice snippet of VBA code at
Change Outlook folders colors possible?:
joelandre Jan 12, 2015 at 9:13 PM
Unzip the file icons.zip to C:\icons
Define the code below as Visual Basic Macros
Adapt the function ColorizeOutlookFolders according to your needs Text
Function GetFolder(ByVal FolderPath As String) As Outlook.folder
' Returns an Outlook folder object basing on the folder path
'
Dim TempFolder As Outlook.folder
Dim FoldersArray As Variant
Dim i As Integer
On Error GoTo GetFolder_Error
'Remove Leading slashes in the folder path
If Left(FolderPath, 2) = "\\" Then
FolderPath = Right(FolderPath, Len(FolderPath) - 2)
End If
'Convert folderpath to array
FoldersArray = Split(FolderPath, "\")
Set TempFolder = Application.Session.Folders.Item(FoldersArray(0))
If Not TempFolder Is Nothing Then
For i = 1 To UBound(FoldersArray, 1)
Dim SubFolders As Outlook.Folders
Set SubFolders = TempFolder.Folders
Set TempFolder = SubFolders.Item(FoldersArray(i))
If TempFolder Is Nothing Then
Set GetFolder = Nothing
End If
Next
End If
'Return the TempFolder
Set GetFolder = TempFolder
Exit Function GetFolder_Error:
Set GetFolder = Nothing
Exit Function End Function Sub ColorizeOneFolder(FolderPath As String, FolderColour As String)
Dim myPic As IPictureDisp
Dim folder As Outlook.folder
Set folder = GetFolder(FolderPath)
Set myPic = LoadPicture("C:\icons\" + FolderColour + ".ico")
If Not (folder Is Nothing) Then
' set a custom icon to the folder
folder.SetCustomIcon myPic
'Debug.Print "setting colour to " + FolderPath + " as " + FolderColour
End If End Sub
Sub ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders(strFolderPath As String, strFolderColour As String)
' this procedure colorizes the foler given by strFolderPath and all subfolfers
Dim olProjectRootFolder As Outlook.folder
Set olProjectRootFolder = GetFolder(strFolderPath)
Dim i As Long
Dim olNewFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olTempFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim strTempFolderPath As String
' colorize folder
Call ColorizeOneFolder(strFolderPath, strFolderColour)
' Loop through the items in the current folder.
For i = olProjectRootFolder.Folders.Count To 1 Step -1
Set olTempFolder = olProjectRootFolder.Folders(i)
strTempFolderPath = olTempFolder.FolderPath
'prints the folder path and name in the VB Editor's Immediate window
'Debug.Print sTempFolderPath
' colorize folder
Call ColorizeOneFolder(strTempFolderPath, strFolderColour)
Next
For Each olNewFolder In olProjectRootFolder.Folders
' recursive call
'Debug.Print olNewFolder.FolderPath
Call ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders(olNewFolder.FolderPath, strFolderColour)
Next
End Sub
Sub ColorizeOutlookFolders()
Call ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\100-People", "blue")
Call ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\200-Projects","red")
Call ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\500-Meeting", "green")
Call ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\800-Product", "magenta")
Call ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\600-Departments", "grey")
Call ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders("\\Mailbox - Dan Wilson\Inbox\Customers", "grey")
End Sub
In the object ThisOutlookSession, define the following function:
Private Sub Application_Startup()
ColorizeOutlookFolders
End Sub
and
In order to NOT color sub-folders, you can use the function
ColorizeOneFolder instead of ColorizeFolderAndSubFolders e.g.
Sub ColorizeOutlookFolders()
Call ColorizeOneFolder ("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\100-People", "blue")
Call ColorizeOneFolder ("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\200-Projects", "red")
Call ColorizeOneFolder ("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\500-Meeting", "green")
Call ColorizeOneFolder ("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\800-Product", "magenta")
Call ColorizeOneFolder ("\\Personal\Documents\000-Mgmt-CH\600-Departments", "grey")
Call ColorizeOneFolder ("\\Mailbox - Dan Wilson\Inbox\Customers", "grey")
End Sub
When you move sub-folders between folders, they should retain their
color only until the next time you restart Outlook.
From what I have read this is unfortunately not possible in Outlook 2007.
It is possible in Outlook 2010 using MAPIFolder.SetCustomIcon. See MSDN for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff184775.aspx
Switching the list of MAPIFolder methods between 2010 and 2007 on the following MSDN webpage shows the SetCustomIcon method for 2010 only: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb645002.aspx
